The bee crisis, however, strikes a singular chord. Everyone is alarmed because everyone is affected. One third of the world\u2019s food production depends on bees. The potential loss of pollinating hives is a clarion call even to environmental skeptics, the loss of biodiversity a frightful prospect to those with ecological concerns. A growing world population and a declining number of bees is a dangerous mismatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"287\" src=\"http:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images4-1024x287.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images4-1024x287.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images4-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images4-768x215.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first signs of colony collapse surfaced in Texas and\nLouisiana in 1960. From 1972 feral bee populations began to fall in the United\nStates and are now almost extinct. Trachea and Varroa mites started to wreak\nhavoc in colonies in the 1980s. France reported major unexplained losses of bee\npopulations in 1992. By 2005 fifty per cent of domesticated bees had perished\nin the US. The United Kingdom became affected in 2006. In the same year the\nterm Colony Collapse Disorder was coined to describe what was rapidly becoming\nan agricultural catastrophe. Two years later many US beekeepers reported losses\nof up to ninety per cent. Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Greece, Italy,\nPortugal and Spain suffered substantial declines, and other European countries\nsoon followed. In the meantime, severe colony collapse has struck China and\nJapan. Egypt is also affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"287\" src=\"http:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images3-1024x287.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images3-1024x287.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images3-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images3-768x215.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beekeepers are at a loss as to how to stem the tide of\ndestruction. Scientists have begun a frantic search for causes. Many accuse the\nVarroa mite, but this mite coexisted with Asian bees long before colonies began\nto collapse. Other researchers blame monoculture, genetically modified crops,\nherbicides, pesticides and electro-smog. No doubt these all play their\nignominious part. But bees are dying in areas unaffected by herbicides.\nColonies collapse where there is little electro-smog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"287\" src=\"http:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images2-1024x287.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images2-1024x287.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images2-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Blog-shouts-and-images2-768x215.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this book I explore the reasons behind the bee crisis and suggest a new way of thinking about it. My aim is not to discredit current trends of thought but to establish communication between different ways of seeing the world. I believe that the gap that separates these ways of seeing is the same into which species after species disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horst Kornberger was born in Austria in 1959.
